2. Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph
any longer.
3. As soon as you get an opportunity, check
the tyre pressure in all four tyres.
If all four tyres are inflated to the correct
pressures, the runflat indicator might not
have been initialised. In this case initialise
the system.
Maximum possible distance with tyres entirely
deflated:
The possible driving distance with a flat tyre
depends on the load and strain on the vehicle
during the journey.
With a moderate vehicle load, it is possible to
travel approximately 80 km, 50 miles.
During the journey driving with damaged tyres,
the vehicle handling changes, for example
quicker loss of traction when braking, longer
braking distance and modified self-steering
behaviour. Adapt driving style accordingly.
Avoid abrupt steering or driving over obsta‐
cles, for example curbs, potholes etc.
As the possible driving distance largely de‐
pends on the strain on the vehicle during the
journey, this can be shorter, or longer if the
driving style is more careful, according to
speed, road condition, outside temperature,
load etc.
WARNING
A damaged tyre with run-flat properties
with low or missing tyre inflation pressure will
change the driving properties, for example re‐
duced directional stability when braking, lon‐
ger braking distance and modified self-steer‐
ing behaviour. Danger of accidents.
Drive with care and do not exceed a speed of
80 km/h, 50 mph.◀
WARNING
Continuing to drive with a flat tyre can re‐
sult in particularly heavy trailers starting to sla‐
lom. Danger of accident or damage to prop‐
erty.
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 964 279 - VI/15
Security
When driving with a trailer and a flat tyre, do
not exceed the speed of 60 km/h, approxi‐
mately 35 mph.
In case of swaying or fishtailing motions, brake
immediately and make the necessary steering
corrections as carefully as possible.◀
Final tyre failure
Vibration or loud noises during the journey
may be an indication that the tyre has finally
failed.
Reduce your speed and stop the vehicle. Parts
of the tyre could detach, which could lead to an
accident.
Do not continue driving, but contact a Service
Partner or a qualified specialist workshop.
Intelligent Safety
Principle
Intelligent Safety permits central operation of
driver assistance systems. Depending on
equipment, Intelligent Safety consists of one
or more systems which can help to avoid the
risk of a collision.
▷ Front-end collision with city braking func‐
tion, see page 118.
▷ Person warning, see page 121.
▷ Lane departure warning, see page 123.
Notes
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not take your
personal responsibility from you. System limi‐
tations can mean that warnings or system re‐
sponses are not issued, are issued too late, or
are issued incorrectly. Danger of accidents.
Adapt driving style to the driving conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.◀
